Beautiful Light
The sun has been there all along, but we keep just seeing clouds and haze. Winter is upon us and this year seems to be a time of dreaming about spring and the beautiful sunlight it brings. The wind is blowing and the plants are leaning toward the south because of the north wind. We love spring and we love to see a snow in winter, but this year the snow has been here deeply and long. People who live where there is no snow would love to enjoy some of this we have had. The people who have snow every year are all probably ready to see it leave as are we who usually have at least one big snow and then it melts and we have rain and a few flurries of snow.
When we can’t have much sunlight or we have it and it is still cold outside, we can come inside and enjoy our beautiful lamps. We like to light the candle lamps and enjoy the scent of the candles we have placed there. We enjoy now more than ever the beautiful lights we have placed around the house. We can’t change the weather, but we can turn on the light that we like inside the home. Just enjoy it and look forward to spring. What a happy thought!
Useful and Fun
What fun it is to choose a new item for a room. Especially when you just get your first apartment at college and you get to choose at least one new thing to use. What will it be? There are so many things that you need. First you need a microwave because you have to eat and that is the fast way to fix something when you are in a hurry. But you have the microwave that your sister used and it is still in good shape. You wonder if she ever used it? Then you might need a new set of sheets, but the ones you have fit the bed and they are still good.
Hey! This is it! You need a new lamp for your bedroom, because you will be reading your homework assignments there. It needs to be good and pretty and fun. How about the money your aunt gave you? It is quite a lot, but you need a really good lamp. It will be a lamp that will lift your spirits and serve its purpose, and maybe, just maybe, be unique. Okay, get on the internet and find just the right one. It will be so much fun when it arrives at your door.
Lights for the Season
Remember the
days when there were no electric lights for our homes? I do. But just barely. We call those the “good ole days,” but the part about using candles and oil lamps I can do without. I was looking through a catalog and saw the beautiful candle holders now available. Some look like the lamps we have for our electric lights. That is now a beautiful way to enjoy the candle light that is so nice this time of year.
I got to thinking about it and remembered we have some of those that I had forgotten. There are some beautiful candle holders in our cabinet that we use for the pumpkin-pie scented candles and the other beautiful Christmas candles that we get out in the fall and winter. Some holders are large enough to look like a regular electric lamp. When we use these scented candles in their beautiful holders the scent wafts throughout the house and we enjoy the scent of the season. Candle lamps are indeed a beautiful addition to the fall and winter decorations. Light one and sit back and enjoy the time of year.
